The Little Black Jumpsuit

Jumpsuit - Topshop

Shoes - Zara

Rings - H&M 

So I bought this jumpsuit in search for an outfit to wear for my friends birthday. After eating a massive Nandos with my bestfriend and feeling soo bloated whilst trying it on, I wasn't so sure about it but in the words of Gretchen Wiener, "You wouldn't buy a skirt without asking your friends first if it looks good on you." So with the seal of approval I bought it! It comes in both black and white or a spaghetti strap version which comes in an additional red! I'd say a jumpsuit is this seasons substitute for the little black dress! Click here to buy it! Personally I feel this outfit would be perfect for a night out with your friends or date night with your boo ;)

I didn't mean to become a walking Topshop ad when I put this outfit together but I just loved how each piece complemented the other. I do have to say I wear this jumper ALL the time! Simply because I just love its pastel colour and fabric texture. It reminds me of when clothes become old and worn and start to pill or bobble but being the trend setters that they are, Topshop have turned the fashion faux pas on its head and have created the latest must have item. Obviously I added some gems to this little number as what would your outfit be without some fake jewels ;) My necklace was actually £5 RRP which I think is a bargain when it comes to statement necklaces which normally come with hefty price tags nowadays. Seriously, don't be ashamed, go into your nearest Primark & have a search for cheap & cheerful jewelry that you can wear over & over 

Going for a girly look, I decided to match it with this midi lace floral skirt with a mini skirt petticoat. I think it makes the outfit more flirty as it comes across intriguing to the eye and brings wonder to the imagination. Staying within the theme of pastels and mixed textures I had to wear my treasured pink swing boyfriend coat. It's actually sad that this coat will only be 'fashionable' for this season because I plan to wear it forever! Its fluffy AND its pink! Like seriously, what more could you ask for!

Texture Clash

Hey you, it's been a while. I know I've been absent from the blogosphere, but I'm back with a whole new look which I hope you all love! As it happens, work, uni & personal life just gets a bit hectic sometimes but you just have to roll with the punches. Having updated my blog, (which I'm still in the process of doing so bare with me) I wanted to share with you my favourite trend this season which is this mix between different textures. It's like the fabric version of colour blocking. There's no right or wrong answer in this department!

Cosy knits have become a key player in this seasons trend base and has made walking out into this cold weather a little more bearable. Having such a soft and cuddly bear like feel, I decided to clash my knit with something more cold and edgy. The combination of a leather look skirt or in this case pvc, gives a more chic rocker look but can also be dressed up with a pair of pointed heels or heeled sandals if you're looking to show of your newly done pedicure! But considering I was off to uni I opted for a casual boot...trying to tone it down a little lol!

Believe it or not I actually bought this jumper in a size 12, a couple sizes up from my original size, hoping to get a more over-sized look but it unfortunately fit perfectly. When I went to go and buy the other sizes up there were only 8 & 10's available so I guess everyone had the same idea as they were all out of stock in everything else. 

Enjoy the new website look & stay tuned for more!

Keep it Casual

Hey sexy people!! 

How was your day? Hope it was well :) 

Today's look is something EVERYONE can achieve! Watch me turn a daring night time outfit into something playful for the day! 

I'm not really sure what look I was going for tbh I just wanted something easy and 'go with the flow' kinda thing. So I chose a simple bodycon (no need to iron haha) but of course this essentuated EVERY part of my body, ESPECIALLY the bootylicious area, so it needed toning down.

So instead of a blazer that you might of worn to dinner with some friends, I opted for a slouchy Denim Shirt which made the ensemble pro day time.

Added a leather Biker Jacket & some Cons & it was plain sailing baby :) have a go yourselfs & tweet me your looks! :)

First Day At Work...

Hey Guys! Hope your all well! Things are a bit hectic on this side as I've just moved out of Uni last Friday and into my new place Saturday & starting my new job today! Yeah, a lots been going on so I'm kinda all over the place just trying to find some sort of routine. 

Just wanted to share with you some of what I did today :) 

So I started my new job at a London based PR company which is a pretty big deal because they work with some huge names in the industry like Calvin Klein, G-Star & New Era (just some names I think most people would know) but then they also work with some big designers that even I hadn't heard of until today!

 I did the whole, "OMG! I have nothing to wear" but then opted for one of the shirts I uploaded in a previous Outfit post. Remember it....

I did think it was a little bright for my first day at work but then decided it was perfect simply because I got so many compliments on it which made people remember me! Even the new Head of Fashion Director ;) (Just a little tip to you all wanting to impress)

All in all it was a great first day and they made me feel so welcome! You'll have to bare with me due to working early till 6/7 in the afternoon but I WON'T forget about you! :)

Here's a Random picture to show you my love

How I Style It: Textured Dress

¡Hola!, Hallo, Hey!! :)

I hope you've all had an amazing weekend! Best weather we've had in England for ages! 

Today's post is a little different... I've been ever so lovely and I'm not just giving you 1 outfit post, oh no honey boo boo ;) I'm giving you 3! But here's the thing, being a student...actually being anyone in this economy, money is a little tight. So I thought I'd share with you money conscious gals..(and guys) how I recycle 1 garment to make 3 completely different outfits! Hope you enjoy..go on, have a scroll! 

THE EGYPTIAN WOMAN:

  

 I have to say out of all of the outfits this one is my favourite. I like the connection between the metal accents on the accessories, it really pulls the outfit together. 

Who? What? Wear?

Dress TopShop// Sandals Zara// Necklace River Island//
Hairband Primark// Bag H&M

PLAIN Vs. PRINTS

I know, I know, MORE crop trousers -.- BUT I'm sooo in love with them, I think they make any top flattering and suit most shapes and sizes if matched with a nice pair of shoes. I've simply tucked this textured dress in and bagged it over a little to make it look a little less formal and wahlah! In my opinion cropped trousers are definitely a winner this year.

Who? What? Wear?

Dress TopShop// Sandals TopShop// Trousers H&M//
Necklace Primark// Ring America// Bag H&M// Sunglasses Primark

CASUAL FRIDAY

& finally we have this causal look that EVERYONE can pull off! A simple pair of denim shorts with some comfy trainers and you have a cute festival look! Add a cool headband...maybe some wellies for the mud and there you have it, you have an effortless outfit that allows you to booty pop!
